Well seeing as Horus Heretic has given the go ahead for certain FoK models - there is only....

Deathstorm/Deathwind pods (they exist but I want to redesign them for our purposes - they need to spin for one thing)
Njal
Nightwing (which I'm gonna asset buy rather than model fully)
Grimnar (hehe)
Rune Priest
Iron Priest (converted from FoK - so swiftish)
WG Termies (converted from FoK - so swiftish)
Terminator Rune Priest

That's it I think - all buildings are done anyway, so we are racing to the finish on the modelling front - though much still to do after that of course! Scout has assured me he will have a finished build before he goes on holiday at the end of the summer, so you can ready the AI wand for then Thud!

IP looks good
full sevro harness - mabey a bit much? it migh be the photo but he seems to have at least 6 servo arms all on top of each other
it might be worth dropping the really big one second from back... failing that stick up a photo from the front and belay my fears

also: thank god i'm not animating

wow impressive TechMarine! So glad all the modelling is nearly done.. very impressive.

Might I add that when you add a new preview model you add a new reply here as well as add it to the main thread because you are accumulating so many new models its getting hard to track them all now. Also, a brief description of the new model and its function would be useful too.

[Mephistoned]

Yes the servo harness does have 6 arms - have added two more onto what FoK had - simply because the existing two didn't look bulky enough to fit the rest of the model. The two smaller arms on the outmost points may not be animated though. The original GW model has four arms, but for some reason looks sufficiently bulky (I think the arms are just further apart). I could just do the same with the FoK model, but that does cause some problems with the upgrade from IP to SH as the original arm has to be dropped. The legs have also been reinforced and additional armour plating added to the front and face - so he's really hulked up to look like he could support the weight.

Anyway - will let it marinate and see. Will try and post another pic at some point.

Wolf Guard Terminator 1st Post! So close to the completion of modelling now I can smell it!

good job , what other weapons do the termys have?

good job , what other weapons do the termys have?

Lightning claws (of course), Cyclone, Assault Cannon, Stormbolter + Chainfist. Had to cut the Flamer due to space (it's not particularly SW all in all). A hard choice that. Oh and they can have a Rune Priest in Terminator too. We don't have separate Assault and Ranged Termies - and you only get one unit, and it's only got six terminators in it. But each can have a weapon choice.

Often seems a Chapter has a particular special weapon that defines them - yet wiht SW it's quite hard to work out what that is. If I had to choose, I'd prob go Melta. Though truly the Axe is their signature weapon.

Blood Angels - Melta
Salamanders - Flamer and Melta (easy)
Dark Angels - Plasma
Ultramarines - all

Obviously our SW have access to all of them in different units.

Love the new models team.

SW use heavy flamers ^^ id of cut the chainfist not realy commonly used, are the termys having portable teleportation devices?

chainfist is the basic weapon, we needed to drop an upgrade
and SW's are scared of telaporting so no

Yeah to second Scout - the WG are better all rounders and have more HW upgrades than standard Terminators. But the lack of teleport is a fluff SW thing (they are superstitious) - and we will more than make up for it with advanced drop pod options. Wait till you get a load of the Deathstorm and Deathwind drop pods. Outchie!

Njal Stormcaller in post 1. Note that Nightwing is separate.

Just Rune Priest and Grimnar on the todo list.

im likin the look of njal and his dasterdly runes

Rune Priest in Terminator in showcanse. Just Grimnar left!

Vehicles are Dread, Hellfire, Tempest, Razorback, Typhoon, Tempest, Rhino, Whirlwind, LR - think that's it. Oh and Exterminator. But all this depends on the branch you take. SW do use Vindicators but we can't fit them in the line-up, and I would prefer to leave those to chapters who are siege specialists like DA or IF.
